race description
Hispanic Native American
For decades, I have worked side by side with our community, helping families with everything from home loan modifications to selecting insurance benefits. Through this work, I have come to truly understand our community’s needs.
Experiences: I am committed to addressing our communities’ needs and implementing the changes required to move us forward.
Age: As I enter my seventies, it simply means I have lived long enough to witness many mistakes our government has made—and continues to make.
